The Stroke Scales for EMS mobile app is a tool to help first responders and EMS personnel assess a patient’s stroke severity.

By measuring, for example, the patient’s ability to squeeze and release a hand or make facial expressions—physical indicators of an emergent large vessel occlusion—the scales help first responders determine the best course of action for the patient. With this information, the app then recommends the type of facility where the patient can receive appropriate care.

Downloaded by 30,000+ EMS, the app has earned great reviews, including from a stroke lead at a hospital who wrote, “I recently downloaded the Stroke Scales for EMS app and have found it very useful.”

It is available for download in the iTunes App Store.
